21-year old Julio Rodriguez is having a phenomenal rookie year with the Seattle Mariners, having already locked in a 20-20 season (20 home runs & 20 stolen bases). Before he even completes his rookie the year, the Seattle Mariners have gone all in to lock him up and evidently have succeeded.

Per Jeff Passan, the deal is for 14 years and the total dollar amount may range from $210 million to over $400 million depending on a variety of factors. While this is an exciting time for the Mariners franchise and their fans, this deal without a doubt comes with some serious risk.

If Julio Rodriguez begins to struggle and does not become a premiere player in the league with a career that extends into his thirties, the deal may become an outright embarrassment for the franchise. However, because of the complexity of the deal, Seattle may only have to pay him $210 million (about $15 million per year) in this worst case scenario.
